Kaplan-Meier analysis of overall survival in 80 HCC patients, revealed that the patients with low expression of CLEC3B showed shorter overall survival time after surgery than patients with high CLEC3B expression, and the median overall survival of CLEC3Bhigh patients was not reached, which is consistent to the analysis for TCGA-LIHC database (Fig. 1f). Here, CLEC3B is linked to hepatocellular carcinoma.
